Abstract
Of 128 cases of malignant lymphomas studied in Singapore between 1986 and 1988, 28 were identified as peripheral T‐cell lymphomas. Sera from two of the 128 cases were positive for HTLV‐1 antibodies and both cases had the clinical and pathological features of adult T‐cell leukaemia/lymphoma. The pathological and clinical features of the 28 cases of peripheral T‐cell lymphoma are presented in detail. Survival data indicated no significant difference between the low grade and high grade histological types. Three of the patients had previous or concomitant malignancies. The percentage of T‐cell lymphomas associated with HTLV‐1 infection in Singapore is low compared to those areas in which HTLV‐1 is endemic.Keywords
